Yossi Elran

I'm a British-Israeli recreational mathematician who loves math games and puzzles, their history and their connection with the arts. I work at the Davidson Institute of Science Education at the world-renown Weizmann Institute of Science, bringing the joy of math to everyone - young and old, through every possible medium - books, articles, videos, math clubs and circles, mathmagic performances, the national media and even MOOC's...

I do this because I'm really passionate about getting people to experience math in a friendly way. So, you might say I'm a PR lobbyist for recreational math! I also teach creativity, innovation and recreational math to students at the faculty of education at Western Galilee College. I have a PhD and have done post-doctoral research on quantum mechanics. Read me - and maybe you'll get smitten with the love of math!
